About Me

Well hello. My name is Ron, and yes i'm a nerd. Always have been always will be. Video games are my life. Without them i would probably be, I don't know outside playing sports, or doing something "constructive". I play action, adventure, survival horror, first person shooters, and just about anything else to raise my achievement score. At one point I was really big into rpgs, mainly the more obscure American releases. Now I prefer games that I can play in short bursts without having to worry about a long story to remember. And by short bursts I mean 4 -5 hours. I am an achievement whore. Can't stop won't stop. I like too many games, but if I had to choose a favorite I would have to say Dead Rising. On a hard day nothing brings a smile to my face quite like running over hundreds of the undead in a car, with the hood down. Then hoping out and killing more with my mega buster.

When I'm not playing games, I'm either on Myspace screwing around there, on Facebook screwing around there, or with friends. I enjoy going to the movies, hanging out, and going on adventures. Movies take up the second largest chunk of my life. I have a very odd taste in movies. mainly if the movie has something I really like or enjoy I label it as good. This is why I like movies like Daredevil, The One, House of the Dead, etc. But my friends trust my advice on films for the most part. If i don't like it you know it's bad. I'm actually in the process of trying to buy every single video game based movie. I'm only missing a few. Hopefully Hollywood keeps on crapping them out.

Now all that crap I take in from movies and games isn't wasted. I actually have a very good imagination. My only downfall is i need motivation to use it. One day i will find my calling in this world. Until then I'm going to keep raising my achievement score until Microsoft has no choice but to acknowledge me and give me a cookie.

What happened to Harker? lv99ron | 4:05 PM on 12.05.2008 7 comments

Chances are most of you are asking WTF is Harker? Well let me start off by giving you the basic run down of the game. You play as Johnathan Harker. A man who is on a mission to take revenge against Dracula for the murder of his beloved Mina. He is on a mission to take out the dark lord, and as many blood suckers as he can get his hands on over the course of his adventure. Aside from the usual vampire hunting weapons, stakes, crosses, holy water, and sun light, Harker is able to use the environment to kill his foes, or weaken then so he can get in the killing blow. Also Harker can utilize his little arm brace to block attacks, mainly use it to protect his neck when the vamps get a little too close for comfort, but also as an offensive tool to reflect sun light towards his enemies. The idea of taking on vampires in hand to hand combat is a little far fetched, but it could have been awesome if done correctly. The story would have been top notch seeing as it is based off of Bram Stroker's work. Sadly it seems the game has been put on the shelf, and it will probably remain there. You see the company that was working on it, The Collective, stopped to work on another title. Along with the new title they also took on a new name. They now go by the name Double Helix, and the game they stopped everything to work on was Silent Hill 5: Homecoming. I understand Silent Hill 5 was a big opportunity for them, and they would have been fools to pass it up. But I wonder if they plan on returning to their original title, or just let it fade away completely. Hopefully they do return to it, because we really need more vampire games on the home consoles, because Vampire Rain sucked (PUN) and most of the Castlevania games on the consoles should be staked and dragged out into the sun, John Carpenter's Vampires style. Check out the video to see what could have been.
